BD MEDICAL
A new disposable autoinjector more convenient for patients
An increasing number of patients suffer from chronic diseases. Now, thanks to significant medical progress, patients are able to care for themselves at home by performing their own subcutaneous and intramuscular injections. To meet the requirements of this new market, BD has developed BD Physioject, a disposable autoinjector designed to facilitate self-administration of injectable medication. When BD developed BD Physioject, they took into account all sources of information, including the opinions of patients, doctors, the pharmaceutical industry and the health authorities. In this way, a large number of quantitative and qualitative studies have made it possible to characterize the feedback from patients. Inside the BD Physioject system is the BD Hypak SCF 1ml long prefilled syringe, which is the container of the vast majority of pharmaceutical clients. The latter propose BD Hypak on the market of innovative treatments, in therapeutic categories as varied as multiple sclerosis, anemia, rheumatoid arthritis as well as other chronic diseases less known to the general public. BD Physioject was tested in a phase I clinical test that proved its effectiveness and showed that it was similar in performance to an injection administered by a nurse. This test also indicated that BD Physioject is preferred by patients. Its simplicity of utilization and the reduced pain perceived by patients during the injection undoubtedly account for the preference that patients show for BD Physioject.
